\nNarrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi:\n\n
'Uwaimir Al-`Ajlani came to `Asim bin `Adi and said, \"If a man found another man with his wife and \nkilled him, would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,) i.e., equality in punishment)? O \n`Asim! Please ask Allah's Apostle about this matter on my behalf.\" `Asim asked the Prophet but the \nProphet disliked the question and disapproved of it. `Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the \nProphet disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir said, \"By Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet.\" \n'Uwaimir came to the Prophet when Allah had already revealed Qur'anic Verses (in that respect), after \n`Asim had left (the Prophet ). So the Prophet said to 'Uwaimir, \"Allah has revealed Qur'anic Verses \nregarding you and your wife.\" The Prophet then called for them, and they came and carried out the \norder of Lian. \nThen 'Uwaimir said, \"O Allah's Apostle! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a \nlie.\" So 'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet did not order him to do so. Later on this practice \nof divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case of Li'an. The Prophet said (to the \npeople). \"Wait for her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal). then \nI will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir) has told a lie but if she delivered a black big-eyed one with \nbig buttocks, then I will be of the opinion that he has told the truth about her.\" 'Ultimately she gave \nbirth to a child that proved the accusation.
